I recently decided to try running Windows as a daily driver. WSL is pretty good but just feels wrong. It has a slow cold start and sometimes just completely crashes or freezes for a few seconds. Basic operations in general (outside WSL) often take several seconds. The Copilot button feels forced but I decided whatever I'll try it - the copilot window takes almost 10 seconds to start up on first press. What is going on? It's just a chat interface..

Then there's that super old problem where the settings app opens in a tiny window and cannot be resized.

What's interesting is the feedback app once asked me about how long things take and if I'm satisfied. So it seems they're kind of aware. But the problem is probably too deep to dig out of.

It might be an electron app. Which would be strange but I wouldn’t put it past them.

It still amazes (and infuriates) me when I try to use Windows for something and see a non-resizeable window pop up. Often it's for things that really need to be resized (e.g. iSCSI LUNs) so instead you have to scroll around lots and maybe write things down as the GUI is so old and unusable.
